#LGBTQ Pride in Washington, DC, where the future is born every day. First time that transgender pride flag is visible, important sign of inclusion. ❤️ DC ️‍🌈#instaDC #DC #EqualityEqualsHealth @capitalpridedc 63245 (View on Flickr.com)

Besides that first, our city can see transgender pride flags alongside rainbow pride flags this year. This is an important recognition of the diversity of our LGBTQ communities.

The photograph at the top of this post is the only one that wasn’t taken this year. It was taken on June 11, 2016, in Washington, DC, the day before 49 human beings were massacred in Orlando for living in their identities.

Celebrate. And, help the world learn to love better. If you’re not sure how to do that, ask someone who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. We’re here to help you work to be an ally 🙂 .
